Cahokia - Illinois Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Chester Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Kolton Jany
Chester picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kolton Jany. Nobody could stop Jany as he rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making four total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
Dupo's probably not too fond of Jany given he always seems to get the better of them. When Jany last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he picked up 133 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
Gamescore: 36.47
Prater Posts Huge Game in 48-14 Defeat
Dupo was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Deegan Prater did his best to prevent it. Chester had no answer to Prater as he rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 200 yards and a touchdown.
This year, Prater has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 172.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 31.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 103.57 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 34.68
Wesclin took down Red Bud on Friday, a win that might not have happened without William Waggoner's performance. Nobody could stop Waggoner as he rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 34 receiving yards.
Wesclin's win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 2-5. Waggoner and Wesclin will welcome Carlyle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 30.35
Cael Madden Makes It Two for Wesclin
Keeping Waggoner company is Cael Madden, a fellow Wesclin player. He rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 92 yards and a touchdown. Wesclin is 2-1 when Madden posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 0-4 otherwise.
For the year, Madden has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 65.3 passing yards per game.

Dequan Woods Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sparta/Steeleville came up short on Friday despite Dequan Woods delivering his best game to date. Woods picked up 84 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Sparta/Steeleville is on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-7. Woods and Sparta/Steeleville will challenge Dupo at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
